Marmite politicians, calling out Islamists, unserious poscasters, 'performance art politics', PR and the partiality of civil servants, competence and why union is better than disunion
Thanks for a thoughtful commentary. The results is sort of fair in a perverse way. Labour have their win and can stand or fall on their record, pulled this way and that way placating the mob and the markets. The Tories are humiliated and not quite wiped out and can rebuild or disappear as Reform take over. Reform are in parliament but need to prove their worth. And the LibDems are the ornamental part of the constitution and will struggle to be simultaneously pro development and anti development. The next few years will be more chaotic and divisive. There’s a chance for the right to regroup if it holds its nerve and finds a balance between conviction, common sense and optimism. I expect a lot of young people will realise that left wing policies and mass migration have priced their futures away.

Did you see John McTernan's blueprint for Labour Britain thing in the Critic? Genuinely disturbing: https://thecritic.co.uk/five-rules-for-governing/
This is a really insightful writing I loved it.
